Daughter's share

after the amendment of Hindu Succession Act in 2005, the distinction of ancestral property and self acquired property has gone.

now the daughters does have equal share in the ancestral property as well.

pls c the amended section 6 of the act.

Thanks for the reply.

According to sec 6 any property which was decreed before 20 December 2004 is not covered by the new definition of the act which can be checked out via the below link.

This property was decreed in 1972. So, is it still parental or not? Please reply about this querry.

Your own interpretation seems to be correct.

However pls wait for other opinion of experts/members.

First of all the decree in the year 1972 excluding the daughters from allotting a share in the property to them is valid. If the property was ancestral in nature which was partitioned through a court decree in 1972, upon the share allotted to your father, his sons who are coparceners, are entitled to a share out of this share but the daughters  are not entitled since the property was partitioned before the amended act came into force. However, the ancestral nature of the property has to be confirmed for claiming coparcenery share by his sons out of your father's share in the property,  in any case even if it becomes a inherited property in the hands of your father, he can dispose it in any manner he desires so, confirm the details in this regard if you need further opinion.
